Tune in to “Easy Ed’s Variety Hour” (hillbilly, rockabilly, R&B and rock ‘n’ roll) this Friday for a very special year-end episode, which will include a live, in-studio performance by Boston’s legendary rockabilly/hillbilly/truckin’ trio The Coachmen!

12/16 (tonight!): I will be the guest DJ at River Gods in Cambridge as part of their Primitive Sounds series. Thanks to Jason Beek, P.J. Eastman, and the folks at River Gods for the invitation. Please stop by! The music starts at 9:00 PM.

Hi, folks. Well, the poster says it all I guess, except it doesn't mention that the Lucky Stars are the best thing this ol' DJ has seen. "Amazingly talented" doesn't half cover it. You just have to see for yourself.

Don’t miss this one! (But if you do, you can also catch the Lucky Stars this weekend at the Lowell Folk Festival: www.lowellfolkfestival.org/)

Completely unrelated to that, “Easy Ed’s Variety Hour” is now available as an iTunes podcast. Click the link below to subscribe. Never miss an episode (unless you want to).

Lazy Ed here, ambling in all shame-faced like to dust the cobwebs off my woefully neglected blog. (Not sure if anyone ever really looks at this, but if you do I apologize for any fruitless visits to Tombstone.)

A new episode of Easy Ed’s Variety Hour (two hours) will air this Friday night from 6:00 to 8:00 PM Eastern (US). WMFO broadcasts worldwide on the Internet, so if you’re interested in catching some rockin’ radio please tune in! (Details below.)

WMFO just published their summer schedule, and I’m happy to report that “Easy Ed’s Variety Hour” will still be sizzlin’ on the griddle alternating Friday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. This week I’ll be servin’ you up an extra mean plateful of Rockabilly, Hillbilly, R&B, and Rock ‘n’ Roll nuggets. (Deep fried, salty, and delicious—--nutrition-free but also calorie-free.)

**Where: WMFO in Medford, MA (91.5 FM). Listen live through iTunes (Radio/Public/WMFO) or the station's Web site (www.wmfo.org)

**When: Friday (5/15) at 6:00 PM Eastern.

Can't listen while the show is airing? Just go to www.easy-ed.net and download archived MP3s of past episodes whenever you like. Send your requests to dj_easy_ed@yahoo.com and I’ll do my best to play ‘em.

On May 20 I will be DJing live at River Gods in Cambridge as part of their Primitive Sounds series, hosted by Jason Beek and P.J. Eastman. The music starts at 9:00 PM. Hope to see you there!http://www.rivergodsonline.com/

Hey friends.

WMFO just completed a major technical overhaul. We were off the air for a short time while the work was being completed, but now we’re back and sounding better than ever. So tune in this Friday at 6:00 PM for a state-of-the-art, sonically enhanced version of “Easy Ed’s Variety Hour”—two hours of Rockabilly, Hillbilly, R&B, and Rock and Roll!
